What you'd want to know
Rooftop sauna site eleven floors up on International House on Brixton High Street — the same private-cabin model as the Hackney Netil House location. A row of cedar sauna cabins sit along the rooftop edge, each fitted for one to four people, with bespoke wood-burning stoves and tiered benches. Outside each cabin, open-air timber plunge tubs and waterfall buckets stand on plywood decking. A long view east across South London toward the city skyline; the brixton clock tower visible below; the o2 academy on one side. A private cool-down room with mini-bar, complimentary tea, and skin botanicals is available for 60 and 90-minute sessions. Open sky above; timber screens for privacy between cabins. A diner on the rooftop next door (Three Eight Four / the Brixton view kitchen).
Overheard
- private cabin model — you book your group, no strangers in your room. up to 4 people per cabin.
- 60 and 90 minute sessions include a private cool-down room with mini-bar and complimentary tea. the 30-minute slot doesn't.
- the changing room is smaller than the hackney site — just a single room. plan to arrive in your swimwear under your clothes if you want it quick.
- 11 floors up, open sky, view across south london. the cold plunge and waterfall bucket on the deck — don't underdress on the walk between cabin and plunge.
- the diner on the rooftop opens before and after sessions. most groups stay for food after — it makes the visit a 3-hour thing not 1.
